1Background and Context. The EC Staff Working Document on FET Flagships (September 2014) states that: “In October 2013, after a preparatory period of three years, the Commission launched through its FET scheme two FET Flagships, Graphene and the Human Brain Project (HBP). Each of them is implemented initially as an FP7 project preparing the ground for what will be a new kind of partnership. In complement to these two projects, the Commission has also launched a coordination action bringing together Member States (MS) to jointly define and implement activities and finance projects in support of the Flagships. These two Flagships are the result of a Communication adopted in April 2009, in which the Commission stressed the need for Europe to address grand scientific challenges through sufficiently long-term multi-disciplinary research initiatives, termed FET Flagships.” The implementation modalities for the FET Flagships are set out in the same EC Staff Working Document. As the EC Work Programme states: “The objective is to establish, for each of the FET Flagships, a stable and structured partnership between the EC and the institutions and organisations who commit themselves to establish, maintain and implement the strategic research roadmap of the flagship. These partnerships will be set up through a Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) which will cover the full initiative in order to enable completion of the research roadmap within the context of the agreement.” This document is the narrative part of the Action Plan for the HBP FPA. As the HBP does not yet have its own legal entity, agreements should be subject to the involved Partners’ approval in accordance with their institutional rules, unless otherwise agreed.
